Why do they have to come to our shores from Iraq? Can't they plan and come to our shores from Pakistan, where they are, or any of the other countries they are in?

"Location/Area of Operation

Al-Qaida has cells worldwide and is reinforced by its ties to Sunni extremist networks. Coalition attacks on Afghanistan since October 2001 have dismantled the Taliban–al-Qaida’s protectors–and led to the capture, death, or dispersal of al-Qaida operatives. Some al-Qaeda members at large probably will attempt to carry out future attacks against US interests. Other known areas of operation: United States, Yemen, Germany, Pakistan.

Al-Qaida is a multi-national network possessing a global reach and has supported through financing, training and logistics, Islamic militants in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Chechnya, Eritrea, Kosovo, the Philippines, Somalia, Tajikistan, and Yemen, and now Kosovo. Additionally, al-Qaida has been linked to conflicts and attacks in Africa, Asia, Europe, the former Soviet Republics, the Middle East, as well as North and South America.

The headquarters of al-Qaeda are not known anymore. "

On 9/11 they got to our shores. You ALL claim that the war in Iraq has made us LESS safe, not more safe. So, why wouldn't they be able to get to our shores again?

Whose saying they won't? The Iraqi war is creating more terrorists.....making the world more unstable. That's how the war is making us more unsafe. More unsafe doesn't necesarily mean another 9/11.......it means a world that is less safe for Americans traveling abroad for business and pleasure; more unsafe for American businesses doing business abroad etc.

I honestly think you people are too dense analytically to figure it out.

Oh shit! When are you going to realize no one's buying your alleged intellectual superiority. After all, you voted for Bush twice.
